Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology, specifically to a burst-release artificial bear bile powder nanoparticle formulation, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial bear bile powder (ABP), an important traditional Chinese medicine, possesses a variety of pharmacological activities, including clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the liver and improving eyesight, promoting bile secretion and dissolving stones, and anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Therefore, it is widely used clinically to treat hepatobiliary diseases, ophthalmological conditions, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and various inflammatory diseases. However, despite its significant pharmacological effects, artificial bear bile powder still faces many challenges in actual oral administration. Its main active ingredients, such as ursodeoxycholic acid, often suffer from low bioavailability, insufficient chemical stability, easy degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach, and non-specific distribution, making it difficult to effectively accumulate in target tissues or organs. These factors collectively limit its full clinical efficacy and further expansion of its application scope.
[0003] Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have attracted much attention in recent years due to their unique advantages. They can significantly improve the solubility and stability of poorly soluble drugs, enhance drug bioavailability, and achieve precise targeted delivery and controllable drug release, making them a cutting-edge strategy for addressing the challenges of traditional drug delivery. Among various carrier materials, calcium phosphate materials have been widely explored as drug delivery carriers due to their excellent biocompatibility, good biodegradability, and superior osteointegration capabilities. However, calcium phosphate carrier materials prepared by traditional methods often have limitations in structural regulation and functional design, lacking sufficient pH response precision. This makes it difficult to achieve rapid, efficient, and on-demand drug release under complex physiological environments, thus limiting their potential for clinical application to some extent. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a burst-release artificial bear bile powder nanoparticle formulation, its preparation method, and its application. The method involves doping calcium phosphate nanoparticles with magnesium ions (Mg²⁺) and using anhydrous ethanol as a loading solvent to prepare an artificial bear bile powder nanoparticle formulation with good bioactivity and pH-based burst-release characteristics. Magnesium ion doping can alter the crystal structure and surface properties of calcium phosphate nanoparticles, further enhancing their bioactivity and enabling them to exhibit more significant dissolution and burst-release behavior in acidic environments. This holds promise for achieving targeted and rapid release of artificial bear bile powder from specific pathological sites (such as inflammation or tumor microenvironments) or the intestines, improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for preparing a burst-release artificial bear bile powder nanoparticle formulation includes the following steps: Step S1: Preparation of magnesium ion-doped calcium phosphate nanoparticles Step S1.1: Dissolve calcium salt and magnesium salt in deionized water to obtain a mixed cation solution, wherein the molar ratio of magnesium ions to calcium ions is 0.05:1 to 0.2:1; Step S1.2: Dissolve phosphate in deionized water to obtain a phosphate solution, wherein the molar ratio of phosphate ions to calcium ions is 1.6:1 to 1.8:1; Step S1.3: Under continuous stirring at 100-500 rpm using a magnetic stirrer, the phosphate solution is added dropwise to the mixed cation solution, while the pH of the mixture is adjusted to 9.0-11.0. The mixture is reacted at 60-80℃ for 8-12 hours to obtain magnesium-doped calcium phosphate precipitate. Step S1.4: Remove impurities from the precipitate and dry it to obtain magnesium ion-doped calcium phosphate nanoparticles. Step S2, Loading with artificial bear bile powder Step S2.1: Disperse the magnesium ion-doped calcium phosphate nanoparticles obtained in step S1.4 in anhydrous ethanol to obtain a nanoparticle dispersion.

[0007] Furthermore, in step S2.1, the process of dispersing magnesium ion-doped calcium phosphate nanoparticles in anhydrous ethanol is specifically as follows: a high-shear disperser is used to pre-disperse the nanoparticles at a speed of 3000 rpm for 10 min, and then a high-pressure homogenizer is used to homogenize the nanoparticles five times at a pressure of 150 MPa to obtain a uniformly dispersed nanoparticle dispersion. In step S2.2, the particle size requirement for artificial bear bile powder is D90 < 50 µm.
[0008] Further, step S3.1 specifically involves centrifuging the drug-loaded suspension obtained in step S2.4 at a speed of 1000-4000 rpm for 10-30 min, then collecting the precipitate, and repeatedly centrifuging and redispersing the collected precipitate with anhydrous ethanol, washing it 2-5 times, and collecting the precipitate again.
